CHICAGO, April 1s.-There was a very active
trade in wheat 70 day, accompanied by sharp
drop in prices. The offerings were very large,
and came Ostensibly from the bull CLIQUE. The
feeling was very uncertain and nervous. The
report OF rain-stOTmS throughout the winter
wheat belt created an easy feeling, but the mar
ket appeared to hinge very largely upon the
course of the recognized bull leaders. The first
sales OF May wheat were made ct S4CGS414c, and
the market ruled steady for half an hour, when
sharp break to S21Se followed under very large
Oner1ngs. and which served TO cause s semi
panic among small holders, who have been

A QUARTER OF A MILLION LOSS
ST. Augustine, Florida, Visited ny a De-
structiVe Fire.

structiEe FIRE.
JACKSONVILLE, April IA Times
Union ST. Augustine special gives full
account of the fire there this morning.
The alarm was given at 3:l5 a. m. for
blaze in the Laundry Of the So Augustine
Hotel. The g mes spread rapidly to the
kitchen and tnen 10 the main part Of the
building. The fire department consisted
only of a hook and ladder truck and one
steam engine, aud Ii was impossible to
DO anything to save the hotel, which was
already wrapped in flames. The guests,
numbering ninety. and the forty servants
with the exception OF one laundry woman,
Bridget Barry, escaped. The flames then
communicated to the Edwards House,
THE Cottage" the Planters House and to
the FLORIDA House annex. The next build
ings 10 go were the first National Bank and
one of the oldest landmarks ID the city
the Old Spanish Cathedral, just west of the
st. Augustine House The roof caught
and soon fell, destroying all the historic
relics in the interior. The old chimes fell,
too, their last work being the alarm which
mmoned the citizens to the scene of the
confsgration. At this time the east wall
of the st. Augustine House fell, carrying
the flames to the Sinclair Block, in which
were stores and shops. All were completely
destroyed. Returning to the west side
of the street, the flames reached the old
county courthouse on the north, which
was totally destroyed. The records, how
ever, we're removed and saved. Several
residences and small buildings were also
destroyed. At 1870 me f % was under con-
troll. The losses will a. regaip $3.50, 600
The old cathedral was built IN 1913, and
was in use for purposes OF worship up to
the time OF its destruction. Bridget Barry
was the only one whose life was lost. She
escaped early, but returned to save cloth

A Lady Whose Death Was Recently Pre-

A Lady Whose Death Was Recently Pre-
dicted Now on the Road 70 Recovery.
New ORLEANS, April 13.-The medical
fraternity OF this city IS considerably ex.
cited over the case of Mrs. A w. Alder,
whose death within q few days from gal
Looping consumption was decllred as GER
tain by several leading physicians month
ago. hut who is now apparently on the
road to complete recovery. She is abe wife
of a. W. Albers, n prominent druggist of
this city. When all the doctors had given
his wife up, Mr.. AlDers determined TO try
carbonic acid gas aud sulphuretted hydro
gen as first administered by Professor Bsr-
gon. of LYONS France, and recently ex peri
mented with at the hospital in PhilRdel-
phia. TwO-thirds OF Mrs. Albers' left lung
was destroyed when the treatme 1T was
begun, with an impyovised apparatus, on
March %. The result of the first week
was gain of one pound, clear; at the end
of the second week gain in weight OF
two and one-half pounds, making a clear
gain of three and one-half pounds for two
weeks. One of the features was that
the temperature, which upon the
administration of the gas show I'd
a fever of 102 degrees, declined to
half al hour to ninety-eight degrees. A
sudden drop of four degrees was followed
by a craving for food, which seemed to
9gree perfectly Win the ksdIle0tS anu III turn
was followed in half an hour by drowsy
sensation prompting the patient to sleep,
Weakening from which she had perfect
restful feeling. The gas reaches the lungs
within ten minutes after administration,
and is clearly dlscernible on the breath by
the characteristic oder of the sulphuretted
hydrogen which is used.
The apparatus used by Mr. Al6ers was
improgised by himself and is simple, con-
sistiDg of two rather large-sized bottles, one
containing the ingredients for making car
bonic acid gas and the other charges to
generate sulphuretted hydrogen gas. The
bottles are connected by means of small
rubber tubes, and the gas is collected or
stored in large bag similar to the laugh
ing gas bags" used by dentist. The gas
finds an exit through arubber tube ending
in q syringe.

A SENSATION PROMISED.
Investigation Into the subject Of Under
Valuation of Imports.

NEW YoRK, April 12.-The Sun Publishes
the following: Mr.. Henry F. Merritt of
Illinois, United States Consul at Aix-la-
Chapelle, Germany, called on Collect Or
Magone yesterday. He presented letters
from the Presidents private secretary,
from Assistant Secretary Porter and from
Secretary Fairchild. It was stated that
Mr. Merritt's visit will probably result in
some startling developments. Mr.. Merritt
has devoted his attention to the question
of alleged differentiation of merchandise
imported from Germany. He has in mis-
possession samples, accompanied by in
voices, showing the valuat on at which the
goods have been imported into the United
States, and an array of figures showing the
actual valuation of those goods at the port
of export. The exports from Aix.la-Cha-
pelle alone into the United States amount
to So, 100000 a year. The differentiation
on those imports, taken at the lowest rate
suggested by the samples and figures in
Mr.. Merritt's possession, amounts TO 10 per
cent, or 100000 year. The actual tig-
ures, it is believed, run beyond that. Mr..
Merritt has had interviews with the Presi-
dent and Secretary Of the Treasury, as well
as with his immediate superior officers In
the State Department. After a long con-
ference with Mr.. Magone yesterday, Mr..
Merritt took the train for Washington"

Printing ONCE wrecked.

Troy, N. Y, April ia gang Of I'M
known men, said to be Knights Of Labor,
raided the Office OF the Owl, an obscene
weekly publication of this city, this morn
ing. The proprietor, John Parr, was not
on the premises at the time, and the only
person found by the alleged Knights of
Labor was Foreman Carlos b. Conant. He
says that the men, who were masked, after
asking him one or two questions, beat him
over the head with clubs until he became
unconscious. When he recovered con.
sciousness he found the type all pied, the
racks and imposing stones broken, and a
general chaos. Recently the Owl has been
noted for the viTuence OF its attacks on
the Knights of Labor, and Foreman CO.

POLITICS IN MEXICO.
The Sentiment In Favor of President DIaz
Continuing An ONCE Growing.


Continuing IN ONCE Growing.
CITY OF MEXICO, April 1.-THE candi-
dates for the Presidency are in the city
awaiting the action of Congress. Nothing
can be done until it is known whether
President Disz is TO be his Own successor.
Congress is not making any haste about it..
There was not the slightest reference
to the subject in either the Sem
ate Chamber or the House of
Deputies last evening. The sentiment in
favor of Diaz continuing in Office is IN.
donbtedly growing. Whether the Consti-
tuition shall be changed so as to allow
him to remain in Office two years longer, so
as to re-elect him for another term of four
years, has been the question. A commit
tee has reported in favor Of an amendment
allowing reelection. This committee says
that in the opinion of its members two sue
cessive terms of the Presidency will not en-
danger the Republic bv making it possible
for a President to perpetuete his power. As
the members of the committee-Alf redo
Cbavero, Juan J. Bsz, A. Lancaster Jones,
Ignace Pomb, Trinidad Garcia and A.
Castlello-are all prominent Liberals, their
recommendation will have considerable
weight.

FOUR KILLED AND SEVEN WOUNDED.
Detailed Account of the Recent CatastrO.
phe In the Island of Ikeshima.

WASHINGTON, April 12-Jn the mail re-
ceiyed at the Navy Department to-day
from the Asiatic station was an extract
from a Nagasaki journal containing de-
tailed account of the catastrophe which
occurred on the Island OF Ikeshima, on the
4th of March, through the bursting of
shell fired from the United States steamer
Omaha, resulting in the death OF four
Japanese and the Wounding OF seven Others.
AS already announced, Captain Selfridge,
of the Omaha, was suspended and ordered
home, and is now at San Francisco. The
circumstances, as described in the journal,
were as follows: The Omaha put up float
ing target about fifty yards from the beach,
at which some thirty shots were fred at
distance of 900 yards. at the conclusion
Of the firing the officer in charge of the
target reported that all of the shells fired
bad exploded and the ship sailed to Maya
saki. After she had left. however, an I'M
exploded shell was found by the natives
and ii exploded while they were examin-
ing it. with the fatal results above stated
a private subscription for the wounded
and the relatives OF the dead was taken on
board the Omaha, realizing about 500.
The Je oanese journal says that the United
States G vernnent will no doubt pay any
reasonable indemnity to the unfortunate
sufferers that may be demanded. In placing
a target close to the beach and firing at 1T,
no matter what precautions were taken to
prevent accidents, the Omaha undoubtedly
acted wrongly, as the Japanese Govern
ment has distinctly prohibited gun or tor
pedo practice within three miles of the
shore. A subsequent investigation re-
suited in finding four other unex ploded
shells buried in the beach. The she'll which
exploded with such fatal results was dug
and Carried around the. village to the
vicinity of the school hOuse which huiid.
ing was destroyed by the force of the ex-
ulOsi0n

THE RAILWAY 70 spEeY GASES.
Arrangement of j. L. Armstrong, au Eek
Conductor of the Panhandle,

Conductor of the Pan Handle.
PITTsBURG, Pa. April 1S.-Deputy Mayor
Gripp's office, where the preliminary hear
ings in the great railroad robbery cases were
to take place this morning, was crowded
with friends of the prisoners and curiosity
seekers long before 10 O'Clock, the hour set
for the hearing.
The first case called was that of J. l..
Armstrong, an ex-cOnductOr on the Pan
Handle Road. The prosecution offered in
evidence valise, which, it was claimed, be-
longed to the accused. 1T was found in a
barber shop where Armstrong had left it
and was filed with goods which counsel
for the prosecution said had been identi-
fled as part of the stolen property.
The defendants counsel claimed that the
evidence was not sufficient to hold the
prisoner, but Deputy Mayor Gripp ruled
differently and committed Armstrong to
Jail, for trial at court, fixing his bail at $500.
A large number of the prisoners then
waived hearing Tor court and the balance
asked for postponement until next
Wednesday. The request was granted and
the hearing adjourned.
